Asthma relief can be as simple as avoidance

Sixty percent of asthmatics have allergic asthma. According to the 2007 NIH Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma, “for at least those patients who have persistent asthma, the clinician should evaluate the potential role of allergens, particularly indoor inhalant allergens.” ImmunoCAP® is an effective blood test that identifies specific allergens and allows you to differentiate between allergic and non-allergic etiologies. With this information, you’ll know how best to treat. Symptom management can be as simple as counseling patients to avoid allergic triggers, or referral to a specialist for management of their condition.

Keep allergy symptoms at bay

ImmunoCAP® is a valuable tool because it identifies allergen sensitivities. Allergy symptoms appear when the allergen load threshold is exceeded. Therefore, even minor reductions in exposure may help eliminate symptoms.

A clear choice

ImmunoCAP® performs better than the RAST test and is just as effective as the skin prick test, only more convenient.

The allergy-asthma connection

Asthma and allergies co-exist sixty percent of the time. In such cases, treating the allergy condition may improve asthma, which can lead to decreased medication use and improved patient outcomes.
